I only cook on Sundays.
That’s usually the only day I have time to do anything in the kitchen other than throw something in the oven to heat it up. I try to cook at least one thing that will last through the week. I bake muffins, bread, brownies… anything that we can eat through the week. We have a tiny, tiny kitchen and there’s not a whole lot of room to cook anything. I try
This week, we had a rare Saturday at home and I tried my hand at another Pinterest recipe that a friend recommended.
I learned a fair amount making this recipe.
First: A garlic that I buy at the store is not, in fact, a clove of garlic. Good information to know!
Second: YouTube can solve almost any question you have while cooking. Like how to use that garlic press you got for your wedding. And what a clove of garlic is.
Overall – solid meal that has been voted into the rotation. We paired it with rice and easily could have eaten more.

Years of Firsts 
I remember a friend’s brother that didn’t know what a clove of garlic was. He thought a BULB of garlic was the same thing as a CLOVE of garlic…. Needless to say his sauce turned out very different than he anticipated!
That’s exactly what I thought this recipe! I now have 3 extra bulbs of garlic since, clearly, I didn’t need the 4 bulbs I bought. Thank goodness for YouTube showing me different, otherwise this wouldn’t have ended well!
